About Chana
Chana Rivka Hersh is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 25 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strains, sleep and eating problems, ADHD, and anger. She also addresses career pressures, compassion fatigue, and life changes.
Hersh begins by listening closely and getting to know each person. She uses a client-centered stance at first to build trust and learn what the person wants to change. From there she and the client set clear goals and decide practical steps to reach them.
Her work draws on several approaches to match what a person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps with unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Hersh has a long history working with people who experienced severe mental illness and with survivors of abuse and neglect. She has provided crisis counseling and ongoing therapy for problems such as suicidal ideation, substance issues, sexual addiction, and complex trauma. That background influences how she plans steady, achievable steps with clients.
Practical progress matters in her work. Sessions focus on concrete skills, clearer communication, and problem-solving that fit everyday life. To start she asks people to identify goals and then maps a realistic path toward them.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Chana Rivka Hersh commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and goal oriented, which can suit anger that shows up at home or work. Attachment-Based Therapy is another strand she uses to examine how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and trust; this can help people who react strongly in close relationships. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Choosing the best approach is collaborative. She begins by listening to what the person wants to change and then discusses which methods match those goals. Together they decide on techniques and a pace that suit the person's needs and day-to-day life. Confirm the session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions can occur between obligations. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt exercises, homework, and skills practice so they work in everyday settings rather than only in the session.Areas of focus
